TLV320AIC3268: I2S master using PLL and HF_REF_CLK

Part Number: TLV320AIC3268

I am planning on using the on using the TLV320AIC3268 as an I2S Master with the PLL as my clock source. With the PLL_CLKIN being sourced from HF_REF_CLK. 

  1. It appears that upon power up you must supply a clock signal (selected from Figure 63) to calibrate the HF_OSC_CLK. What is the recommended Frequency ranges for LFR_CLKIN?
  2. I saw a note saying that frequency could be off by approx ±7MHz. Is this a big impact on performance? Not sure if that’s a big deal or not. I could have another device provide the clock signal if it provides for better performance. Then I would use another input (Figure 62) for the PLL_CLKIN instead of HF_REF_CLK. 

  • Hi, Alex,

    HF_OSC_CLK will accept a LFR_CLKIN frequency below 50KHz for a correct device operation. The recommended HF_OSC_CLK frequency should ideally be kept between 50 MHz and 57.5 MHz for good audio performance. In general, providing an external MCLK for the device is better in terms of power consumption, the performance of the device when using the PLL can be compromised if the PLL is not correctly configured.
